2 Months!!!

Ok I can not believe my baby is already 2 months old but I guess when they say they grow to fast it's the truth.  I will start off with our appt yesterday and then go on to things my sweet baby is doing.  So yesterday was our appt for his 2 month check up and SHOTS!!  I was a little nervous on how things were going to go with that so I asked Bert to come with us and plus I like him to be there when Dr. Dimmick is going over things and answering our questions so he can be there to hear him and not think I'm crazy later when I tell him.  My big boy is growing so fast he now weighs 13lbs 4oz and is 23 3/4" long (almost 2').  I was worried that they were going to tell us that he was too big and we needed to cut him back some (cause that's usually what they do) but he is perfectly healthy.  Dr. Dimmick came in and checked him out and talked to us and answered all our questions we had and everything looked good.  One question I had was about him being fussy.  Bert thinks I'm nuts cause he says it's all cause he is spoiled but I think he's wrong cause he will start to cry even when he is being held.  He said it was all a baby thing and he should start calming down more between 2-4months.  Then the nurse came back with the shots.  I finally layed him down and then Bert went and stood over there with him.  She gave him the liquid stuff which wasn't bad then came the first shot in his little leg.  He started to wimper a little bit then she stuck him in the other leg TWICE.  His face turned bright red and his mouth was wide open like he was trying to scream but couldn't.  Then he let out a little cry and stopped!!  He was perfectly fine and took them shots like a champ!!!  I'm so proud of my big boy.  She told us to bathe him tonight and let him kick around in the water for a little bit.  I always hear stories of babies getting a fever and being fussy so I was a little worried about that.  Right before I put him to bed I checked and no fever.  He as a little fussy but nothing our the ordinary.  All that activity must have wore him out cause I layed him down at 8:30 he fussed for a few minutes and went to sleep and didn't wake up for a feeding until almost 3:30!!  Usually we wake up at 2:00.  I'm hoping tonight goes the same and hopefully we are close to sleeping through the whole night.

Brody at 2 months:

Goes to bed at 8-8:30

He has 4-5oz of formula every 3-4 hours

sleeps until about 2:00 am then goes right back to sleep after his bottle til usually 7:00 am

has rolled over a couple times from tummy to back.

smiles like crazy (when he's in a good mood)

started talking to us (and this is adorable)

still hates being swaddled but sleeps so much longer

Bert left to go on a hunting trip on 8/23/11 and didn't come back home until 9/3/11.  Me and Brody had a lot of time together while he was gone.  He was already smiling before Bert left but not as much as he does now so Daddy had some fun stuff to come home too.  Of course I was sending him picutes daily but being in the mountains he only got them when he would come down to call.  This past weekend is when Brody started making his little noises and seeming to enjoy life a little more.  Saturday I had him under his activity center and now that he can see better he constantly watches his little music box thing that lights up and seems to really like it.  He kicks to the music and gets faster when the music does or slows down...it is so cute!!  Well he let out this screech the other day and was smiling and was just loving it.  I got that on video.  When we talk to him he is always smiling and every now and then he will say something back.  The other day he was really on a roll and told me all about his day at Aunt Dory's!!  Day's like that is when I really don't wanna leave him during the day.  I would just like to stay home with him and talk all day long (i know that wouldn't happen but i would still like more time with him).  He had always seemed like a pretty fussy baby too me, he still is but not as bad, and it makes me happy that he is finally starting to enjoy things.  I started reading to him last night, I'm going to start doing this before bedtime, and he just looked at me like I was crazy but loved the fact I was paying attention to him!!  Hopefully this evening we will put him in his stroller and go for a walk.  He really likes being in that thing.  He still loves to be outside no matter how hot it is so maybe this weekend we will go down to the bay.  I will leave you with some pics and maybe next week I will have some pictures from the bay!  

p.s. Amy we loved the outfits!!!
